Night and day is the only way I can describe the difference. In longer getting jarred in the back when hitting bumps or sunken manholes, still try to avoid them though. Called into Revs Racing today and Nick adjusted the forks as best he could. Preload was adjusted to max to remove enough sag. Comression and rebound adjustments have improved it but guessing I may have something done with them once funds permit.
All in all though the shock was worth the expense and really satisfied with that and also the excellent service from John and Nick at Revs Racing in Halesowen.

How have you attached the remote reservoir?

I have a nitron and right now the remote reservoir on that is tucked under the seat, though I haven't done much riding recently.

If you have chance could you take a close pic of the bracket please?

The Wilburs is designed to fit the Evo, so the hose is the correct length and it also come with a custom made bracket to fit the remote bottle to.

Wilbers supply a bracket that utilises two threaded bolt holes in the subframe. If you follow the link that ChrisP has posted it shows the bracket. I did take some pics but they are much the same as Chris's pics anyway
